Between the market and the state, how should society be organized, and who should control the commanding heights of the economy? How should societies best respond to the existential threat of climate change? How can we optimally design policies that reduce poverty and income inequality? To what extent does self-interest explain the decisions of individuals in the marketplace and beyond?
